A small percentage undoubtedly do, but the greater number get well after passing through an attack which greatly resembles inflammatory rheumatism, and is often mistaken for it. Having passed the acute stage, they are no longer in danger, as the insects then lie dormant in the system, and many a man is full of trichinae without in the least suspecting the fact.
